To My Future Wife

I don’t know who you are yet. I don’t know what you look like. I don’t know the color of your eyes. I don’t know the color of your skin. I don’t know your name. There are a lot of things that I don’t know about you, but there are a couple of things that I want you to know.

You’re Already Beautiful. Congratulations, babe, you did it. You are already beautiful. Seriously. If beauty is a game, you’re a pro. You are perfect already. You were beautifully and wonderfully made. You have nothing to fix. Let me say that again, you have nothing to fix. God did not mess-up on you. I know what society is telling you. ”You have to look like this, wear this, and have this in order to be beautiful.” Nope. You’re already beautiful. Beauty is more than what you put on in the morning. You don’t need to lose weight to be beautiful. You don’t need to pack on the make-up to be beautiful. You don’t need to have all the curves installed to be beautiful. You don’t need to have perfect skin to be beautiful. You don’t need to act a certain way to be beautiful. You don’t need to wear certain clothes to be beautiful and you definitely don’t need to take them off to be beautiful. Oh, and you don’t need to have sex with me to be beautiful. You’re already beautiful. Feel free to grow to be a better, healthier, more confident you. In fact, I encourage it. But let me remind you that when it comes to being beautiful, you already won. You are beautifully and wonderfully made.

Babe, keep your goodies in your basket. I get it. I really do. When you have a nice car you want to show it off. If you have a nice body, likewise, you want to show it off. But, what makes a Lamborghini stand out from a Honda Civic? I see Civics all the time. Everywhere I go there is one of those bad boys sitting in the parking lot. I can count on one hand every Lamborghini I’ve ever seen. It is always exciting to see one of those. The Honda, not so much. Don’t get me wrong, your goodies are always going to be good. I’ll say that again, your goodies are always going to be good. But, if everyone and my mom has a look at everything you’re showing off, I’m not feeling like as much of a lucky ducky. So please, for me, keep your goodies packaged away.

You’re a princess worth fighting for. I said “princess.” You know, the princess you always wanted to be as a little girl? Yep, that’s you! But here is the deal, if you are a princess, you have to act like a princess. The story goes something like, “The princess waits high up in her castle waiting to be rescued by her Prince Charming (thats me). This ‘prince’ has to cross the treacherous lands, fight all the battles, storm the castle, slay the dragon and THEN he gets the princess.”

It’s a pretty cool story, really. Prince Charming doesn’t just walk up to the castle doors, spit a little game, and off they go to happy ever after. You’re a PRINCESS. You’re worthy of a fight. If you give yourself to someone who isn’t willing to fight for you, he isn’t worthy to be with you. Your prince charming isn’t going to fight to take your purity, he is going to fight to protect it.

Don’t settle for me, make me go to work. Don’t let me sweep you off your feet without putting in any work. Remember, I have to “cross treacherous lands, fight all the battles, storm the castle, slay the dragon and THEN,” I get the princess. Make me go to work. Don’t let me have you easy. You deserve a gentlemen. You deserve chivalry. Do not settle. There are going to be a lot of guys who come through who might look like me, they might be dressed like me, and they might talk like me, but if they don’t put in the work like me, they don’t deserve you like me. I am out here waiting for you, don’t settle for someone who doesn’t deserve you. Don’t settle.

Our fairy tale will happen, but remember it doesn’t go from ‘once upon a time’ to ‘happy ever after.’ There is a battle that goes on in those middle chapters.Sometimes I am going to mess up. Sometimes you are going to mess up. I am going to say things I don’t mean and mean things I don’t say. Sometimes I will forget that you are a princess and sometimes I will get distracted. But, together, through love, patience, communication, and the grace of God, we are going to win.

I understand I might have written this a little late, but I don’t care who you were yesterday, I care who you are today and who you will be tomorrow. Make a change if you need to. Let us grow together. It is not too late. It doesn’t matter what you’ve done or how many of these items you have missed, it just matters what you are going to do now! You are beautifully and wonderfully made by the hands of a perfect Creator, live like it!

~Prince Charming~"

We are so busy growing up, we often forget they are also growing old.

               Your parents, they give you your life, but then they try to give you their life.  This is part of the essence of motherhood, watching your kid grow into her own person and not being able to do anything about it.

              Parents work hard to provide a meaningful life for their children.  Appreciating parents shows them their children care.  Honoring parents involves acknowledging their hard work and making a few changes in habit. Doing so will positively impact the relationship that parents and children have with each other.

                    This pic really brought me to tears. I was deeply moved.  I don't only see a very caring son but a loving mom who did a great job raising him.  She deserves every ounce of love and care. May God bless them. As for me, there's nothing I wouldn't do for my parents and love-ones ,as they greatly deserve it. 

Love your parents.  We are so busy growing up, we often forget they are also growing old.

How much do you love your parents? What can you do for them?

My Heart Beats For You

               I was wondering how to celebrate a valentines with a special someone, could I prepare to choose a beautiful blooming flower, look for a chocolate that it is not too sweet and what simple note to put in a special cards. What to wear on the day of valentines and what perfume will I put on.  Geez for sure the pressure will fall upon me.  And the expectation that I need to meet from her. 

               There are so many preparation to make just to fit in in just one perfect moment. And for sure you want to make all the things goes well base in what you have planned, again just to fit in in one perfect moment.

               No date this valentine doesn't make you look pathetic and cast out.  People having a special someone to celebrate on the Valentine's Day doesn't mean they have the perfect relationship and they are the most happy partners in the whole world. Yours is yet to come in a unexpected way and in a most meaningful moment. It's worth the wait for sure.

               I find no wrong in celebrating a valentines day,  this month when we are bombared with  the commercialism of Valentine's Day, take a minute and think about on where and whom your heart really beats.  Wouldn't be much better gift you could give to the author of love who is Jesus instead of a box of chocolate and a expensive flower why not give spend an intimate time alone with Him.

               I am praying that every beats of  heart is for Jesus and I want to feel Him inside my heart.

               Today, step out and show others what real love is.  Every act of kindness is a seed that will produce a harvest in your own life in return.  Let your love be in word and in action and watch how Jesus pours out His blessing in ever area of your life.

               My Jesus, my heart beats for you. I love you with all my heart and with full of passion, You to me are everything, my love, my best friend, my life and my future.

Judging a person doesn't define who they are. It defines who you are.

               Naka upo ako sa isang waiting area sa Ospital habang nag hihintay na matawag ang pangalan ko para mag pa check up ng mata. Madaming tao akong nakikita, palakad lakad, tatayo, uupo, nag babasa ng dyaryo , umiinom ng kape, nag kakalikot ng celllphone, may nagkukuwentuhan, nag tatawanan at may nag iisa lang (madalas akong mag isa sa lahat ng lakad) hindi dahil sa wala akong kaibigan, mas gusto ko lang talagang mag isa madalas.

               Ilang beses na ba tayong na husgahan ng ibang tao dahil sa uri ng ating pananamit, pagsasalita, kilos at direksyon sa buhay, sa musika na pinapakinggan mo,kung anong hitsura mo, kung paano ka makitungo sa ibang tao, kung sino ang mag sinasamahan mong grupo ng tao sa bagay ganun din naman tayo madali nating husgahan ang isang tao batay sa nakikita lamang natin.

               Masakit mahusgahan ka ng ibang tao batay lamang sa kanilang pamantayan, at sigurado eto ang sasabihin mo "OK lang di naman totoo" pero deep in side masakit parin ang mahusgahan ng hindi totoo, apektado ka parin kahit papaano.

               Sinasabi sayo ng mga tao na maging totoo ka "be yourself" pero sa kabila ng pagpapakatotoo mo huhusgahan ka naman nila napaka ironic.  Kahit ako mismo dumadating sa puntong nanghuhusga ng isang tao base lamang sa nakikita ko, alam ko mali. Pero naiisip ko judging a person doesn't define who they are.  It defines who you are. Tama hindi ba?

I Want To Date A Girl Who

“Date a girl who reads. Date a girl who spends her money on books instead of clothes. She has problems with closet space because she has too many books. Date a girl who has a list of books she wants to read, who has had a library card since she was twelve.

            Find a girl who reads. You’ll know that she does because she will always have an unread book in her bag.She’s the one lovingly looking over the shelves in the bookstore, the one who quietly cries out when she finds the book she wants. You see the weird chick sniffing the pages of an old book in a second hand book shop? That’s the reader. They can never resist smelling the pages, especially when they are yellow.

            She’s the girl reading while waiting in that coffee shop down the street. If you take a peek at her mug, the non-dairy creamer is floating on top because she’s kind of engrossed already. Lost in a world of the author’s making. Sit down. She might give you a glare, as most girls who read do not like to be interrupted. Ask her if she likes the book.

Buy her another cup of coffee.

            Let her know what you really think of Murakami. See if she got through the first chapter of Fellowship. Understand that if she says she understood James Joyce’s Ulysses she’s just saying that to sound intelligent. Ask her if she loves Alice or she would like to be Alice.

            It’s easy to date a girl who reads. Give her books for her birthday, for Christmas and for anniversaries. Give her the gift of words, in poetry, in song. Give her Neruda, Pound, Sexton, Cummings. Let her know that you understand that words are love. Understand that she knows the difference between books and reality but by god, she’s going to try to make her life a little like her favorite book. It will never be your fault if she does.

She has to give it a shot somehow.

            Lie to her. If she understands syntax, she will understand your need to lie. Behind words are other things: motivation, value, nuance, dialogue. It will not be the end of the world.

            Fail her. Because a girl who reads knows that failure always leads up to the climax. Because girls who understand that all things will come to end. That you can always write a sequel. That you can begin again and again and still be the hero. That life is meant to have a villain or two.

            Why be frightened of everything that you are not? Girls who read understand that people, like characters, develop. Except in the Twilightseries.

            If you find a girl who reads, keep her close. When you find her up at 2 AM clutching a book to her chest and weeping, make her a cup of tea and hold her. You may lose her for a couple of hours but she will always come back to you. She’ll talk as if the characters in the book are real, because for a while, they always are.

You will propose on a hot air balloon. Or during a rock concert. Or very casually next time she’s sick. Over Skype.

            You will smile so hard you will wonder why your heart hasn’t burst and bled out all over your chest yet. You will write the story of your lives, have kids with strange names and even stranger tastes. She will introduce your children to the Cat in the Hat and Aslan, maybe in the same day. You will walk the winters of your old age together and she will recite Keats under her breath while you shake the snow off your boots.

            Date a girl who reads because you deserve it. You deserve a girl who can give you the most colorful life imaginable. If you can only give her monotony, and stale hours and half-baked proposals, then you’re better off alone. If you want the world and the worlds beyond it, date a girl who reads.

Or better yet, date a girl who writes.”

When I Am Weak

In times like we are giving up, there are so many things that comes into our mind. QUIT NOW. STOP IT. DON'T GO. DO NOT FINISH.  It's easy to stop, quit, and even don't finish the race, it seems that you are putting so much effort on the things that you feel there is no reward at all.

We face all the trials in our life but what really matters is that on how you will see the positive and a purpose why you are being tested.  Maybe now we will not see what is this all about like questioning WHY ME?

But folks it's about putting our trust in Him for He promise that you are more than a conqueror  "Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us" Romans 8:37

When I am weak I know God is bigger and stronger than I ought to be.  He knows all the details of my life.  I surrender everything in His holy name.  Nothing could separate me from God.  Nothing.

Sometimes it's hard to understand life like we think that life is unfair but you know what folks I learned that God's plan may not be the easiest plan or the most popular plan, but God always has the best plan.

Same article I posted in Truth on-air visit this site also.

God's Plan In Finding Your Mate

         
          Lord, I am about to be ready to commit myself to someone I fell in love with. Could I take her now? I have prayed for her for quite a time now.

          But the Lord answered. No, not until you are satisfied, fulfilled and content with being loved by me alone. You need to give yourself totally unreserved to me because in me your satisfaction is to be found. And when you learn to commit yourself to me alone then, only then is the right time for you to be capable of perfect human relationship that I have planned for you long you thought at it.

          You will never be united with another until you are united with me. You will never learn to speak and understand the true language of love until you hear me speak it. You will never learn how it is to love and be loved until you feel the tender touch of my LOVE.

          I want you to stop planning. Stop wishing and allow me to step in and give you the most surprising and exciting plan that you can imagine.  You are my child. I want you to have the best. Please allow me to bring it to you. Fix your eyes on me and expect the greatest things as you watch.

         Keep experiencing the satisfaction that I AM. Learn all the things I tell you and be patient.  Just wait. Don’t be anxious. Do not worry.  Don’t look around and feel at the things others may have got. Yours will be different because I LOVE YOU.

         Don’t look at things you think you want. They may not be the things I want for you. Look up straight at me because you might miss what I want to show you. And then, when you’re ready. I’ll surprise you with a lover far more wonderful than what you would ever dream of. But I won’t let you have it until you are ready and the one I prepared for you is ready, until you are both satisfied exclusively with me and the LIFE I have prepared for you.

To Save A Life

          I just watched a movie today entitled “To Save A Life”. It is a very inspiring movie about a teenage boy who regretted not helping a friend in need get through life who later ended up committing suicide. And so as to not make the same mistake, he attended Church and did all he can to help those who feels like they are alone and at the mean time tries to find answers on why they think of dying and that life isn’t worth it. But life isn’t easy for him as well when he found out his parents are divorcing and his girlfriend got pregnant.

         I was so touched by this movie that I can’t help but cry. I’ve always complained about my problems, about life and even about the most simplest things that even I couldn’t believe I complained about. And then I watched this movie and found out there are a much more bigger problems other people have to face and they couldn’t let it out like I am. They just kept it to themselves, no one to ask help from and feeling all alone. My problems aren’t really as big as the ones in the movies. Now that I think about it, they aren’t really big enough to be worried about. With such small problems, I feel so alone, so helpless. What more if I were in their shoes? What more if I were the pregnant girlfriend? Or if I’m the one whose parents are divorcing or is getting a divorce? What if I were the one who didn’t bother to help a friend in need and caused him to commit a suicide? Honestly, I don’t know. But one thing’s for sure, I will feel remorse and alone.

          One of the cast Roger Dawson deliver this line with full of depression in his eyes, I realize that there are so many young people who is going through this kind of dilemma.

“I feel so alone. Like no one in the world feels this way, and it doesn’t even matter. It’s not important. It’s not important, maybe because.. I’m not important. I’m screaming out, doing everything in my power to be heard, yet even my silence is louder than my screams. What else can I do to be heard but to tear down my world, break apart my life? Die. I just want somebody to listen and not be angry that I’m not content, because I’m not. You know, I’m not happy. I feel like I’m stuck in a world where no one wants me, in a world where I’m so completely different. I can never fit in or be understood. I can scream as loud as I want to but the screams will always fade because no one really knows how to listen. Well, maybe this will show them.”

Roger Dawson,

          This movie made me realize that I want to help others. I want to be their counsellor. I want to talk to them, to help them with their problems. True enough I may not be able to really give the best advice, but I can lend an ear. I may not know what they are going through

          “Life is a journey, not so much to a destination, but a transformation. Looking back doesn’t sometimes feel like our richest times come right in the midst of our hardest? But God made us to life in community, to laugh and cry. To hurt and to celebrate with each other, no matter what we’re going through. And transformation is tough, and we don’t always end up where we think we will. But we have to remember, that even when we struggle to believe in Him, He always believes in us. He fills our lives with purpose and passion, if we just let Him. And the best part of the journey, is that the God of the universe, sometimes allows us to play a part in changing the world. Isn’t that a trip?”

—	To save a life (2009) I'll be glad to pray for you: Prayer Request

Did I Ever Say THANKS!

Did I ever say thanks

Did I ever say thanks
for all the toys you mended,
games we played,
and the way you
always tried to cheer
me when I was down?

Did I ever say thanks for
the sacrifices you made
so I could be involved
in so many enriching
activities?

Did I ever say thanks for
working so hard
to provide for our family?

Did I ever say thanks
for having such faith in me
and always being there
when I needed you?

Most of all,
Did I ever say thanks for caring?

DAD, I LOVE YOU

Psalm 103:13

As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him.

22 Reasons To Never Give Up

   1. As long as you are alive, anything is possible.

    The only valid excuse you have to give up is if you are dead. As long as you are alive (and healthy and free) you have the choice to keep trying until you finally succeed.

    2. Be realistic.

    The chance of mastering something the first time you do it is almost non-existent. Everything takes time to learn and you will make mistakes. Learn from them.

    3. Michael Jordan

    Arguably the best basketball player of all time. He attributes his success to all his failures. He just never gave up even when he knew he had missed over 300 shots and had missed the winning shot of the game many times. Every time he got knocked down he got back up again.

    4. Lance Armstrong

    Lance was diagnosed with serious cancer that had spread throughout his entire body. He had cancer cells the size of golf balls in his lungs. Despite all odds he overcame the cancer and set out to win the Tour de France 6 consecutive years in a row.

    5. Muhammad Ali

    “Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.” Muhammad Ali is one of the best boxers the world has ever known. He suffered only 5 losses while having 56 wins and was the first boxer to win the lineal heavyweight championship three times. This is a guy who literally knows how to get knocked down and get back up.

    6. The man who created the marathon.

    Very long ago, an Athenian herald was sent to Sparta to get help when the Persians landed in Greece. It was said that he ran 240km in 2 days and after that he ran 40km to announce the victory of the Greeks only to collapse and die on the spot from exhaustion. If you ever feel like things are difficult, imagine what it would be like to run 240km in 2 days. (Don’t try that because you might die from it, but use it as an inspiration.)

    7. Chris Gardner - The Pursuit of Happiness

    Have you seen the movie The Pursuit of Happyness? It is based on the life story of Chris Gardener, a man who went for the lowest of the lows in an environment where most people would give up (no money, no job) to the highest of the highs (a millionaire with his own investment firm). If you ever think about giving up, watch this movie!

    8. Kanye West

    I’m pretty sure you have heard of the rapper Kanye West. Read his story. He is a big inspiration and proves that you can go from having very little to being among the most famous and respected people in the world.

    9. Nelson Mandela

    Campaigned for justice and freedom in his South Africa. Spent 20 years in jail for his opposition to apartheid. On release, he healed the wounds of apartheid by his magnanimous attitude toward his former political enemies.

    10. You are strong.

    You are stronger than you think. One little setback is not enough to stop you from achieving your goals. Neither are 10 or 100 or 1000 setbacks.

    11. Prove yourself.

    You don’t want to be known as someone that is weak and gives up. Go out there and prove yourself to the world and to yourself. You CAN and WILL achieve what you set out to do. The only time you fail is when you give up.

    12. Has it been done before?

    If someone else can do it then so can you. Even if it is only one other person in the world that has achieved what you have set out to achieve, that should be reason enough for you to never give up.

    13. Believe in your dreams.

    Don’t sell yourself short. In life there are going to be many people who will try to bring you down and tell you what you want to achieve is not possible.

    14. Your family and friends.

    Let the people you love and who mean the world to you be your inspiration to persist and persevere. Maybe you need to try a different angle, study more or practice more but don’t give up!

    15. Because I tell you to.

    Not that I am any sort of guru or Godly figure, but if you want to give up then don’t. Just because I’m telling you not to.

    16. There are people worse-off.

    Right now there are many people who are in a worse situation and environment than you are. Are you thinking about giving up running 5 miles a week? Think about the people who are unable to even walk and how much they would give to be able to run 5 miles every day.

    17. Improve our world.

    When you achieve whatever you set out to achieve you can use your success to make a difference to the world or other peoples lives.

    18. Get rich or die trying.

    Like 50 Cent says, “Get rich or die trying.” 50 Cent is rich — he made it (although he did get shot 9 times). Face your fears and don’t take the easy way out by giving up.

    19. Let the haters hate.

    There will always be haters. There will always be plenty of people who try to tear you down. Don’t pay attention to them and don’t take what they say to heart. Let the haters hate and keep believing in yourself.

    20. You deserve to be happy.

    Don’t ever let anybody tell you otherwise. You deserve to be happy and you deserve to have success. Keep that mindset and never give up until you reach your destination!

    21. Inspire others.

    Be an inspiration to others by refusing to give up. Who knows what someone else can achieve because you never gave up and in turn inspired them not to give up.

    22. You are so close.

    Often when you feel like you want to give up you are so close to making a huge breakthrough. You are just a heartbeat away from success.

Be Ready

Ok, so you may not be married quite yet - may not even be thinking about it - but one day you might. But before we get there, God can still teach us something for today from this verse: ‘Live happily with the woman you love…’ Wow, get that! God doesn’t just want us to enjoy good relationships, He wants us to have relationships we can relish - where we’re totally loving every minute. God really does want you to have great friends and build great relationships, the kind that make you smile and make your life easier to handle!

So if your life is a little low on the friendship front today, pray. Ask God for some great relationships, knowing that’s exactly what He wants for you too. Ask Him for help in finding the right friends and choosing the ones that will build you up, not drag you down. God promises: ‘I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you’ (Psalm 32:8 NLT).

And while you’re at it, if you’re hoping one day to be married, why not start praying now for the your future husband or wife. Talk to God about it, knowing He cares about this too. Ask Him to help you now to grow into the best wife or husband you can be so you will be ready to ‘Live happily with the [one] you love…’

I Love You Mom...

Where would I be without my mom? I love her unconditionally.

Her love & guidance helped me become who I am today..

to all mothers! A salute and more love.. to all of them!

A special Happy Mother's Day to SINGLEMOMS 

that are raising their kids on their OWN.

You're absolutely strong, amazing & beautiful women 

Moving Past Sinful Failure

by Randy Kilgore

How should we handle moments of faith-failure, when we’ve damaged the kingdom of God in the eyes of our friends and family or dishonored God in our actions?

We can learn from King David after his humiliation in the Bathsheba scandal. Though the terrible consequences of that sin could not be avoided, he found his way back to a relationship with God that made it possible for him to continue to serve Him. We too can find our way back.

David’s pattern in 2 Samuel 12 serves us well: We need to declare our error candidly (v.13) and seek God’s forgiveness. Then we can ask God that others be spared the consequences of our actions (v.16). Finally, we need to recognize that sometimes the consequences simply cannot be avoided and must be endured. While we always mourn those consequences, we can’t allow them to so consume us that we cease to be servants of God (vv.20-23).

Satan not only delights in the moment of our failure but also in the spiritual inactivity that sometimes snares us in our remorse. When we’ve blown our witness, we are and should be humbled. But we should not multiply the damage by retreating into silence and obscurity as ambassadors of Christ. We can move past failure.

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9

God's Mind Over Matter

Have you ever thought about mind over matter?  I’m not talking about the whole telekinesis thing where you try to move or bend things with your mind without touching them.  What we’re talking here is this.  If you don’t mind something in your life it really doesn’t matter.  If you don’t mind that annoying person at work, it really doesn’t matter that they are annoying.  

If you don’t mind where you are right now in life, it really doesn’t matter.  If you don’t mind the kind of person that you are, then it really doesn’t matter to you.  But, let’s be honest.  We do mind about a lot of the things that we try to push to the side of our lives.  And, even if we try to push them out of our thoughts day to day, they really do matter.  Did you know that we are created to care about things?  We can’t help it.  But sometimes we can get overwhelmed as our thoughts begin to be dominated by painful and difficult circumstances.  We can begin to care too much.  

In those moments, it is important that we remember that the Bible says that we can cast all of our anxiety on God because He cares for us.  When we take our cares to God, he will take care of them for us. The reason that he does this is because you are always on His mind and you really do matter. 

God Won’t Ask

God won’t ask what kind of car you drove, but will ask how many people you drove who didn’t have transportation.

Virgin Girl

I got into a debate today, well mini-debate. It was about the average age people lose their virginity. We both agreed that it has become prevalent to do so at too young of an age. These are sad sad facts. Children these days are bombarded with insecurities and malformed morals due to the influence of the media and the like.

"Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?  You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price.  Therefore honor God with your body," 

(1 Cor. 6:19-20).
